We spent the first few weeks of the year in Music experimenting and playing with the opportunities that the Music department holds here. We played Happy Together as a class to start refamiliarising ourselves with playing music, our instruments, as well as playing in an ensemble (something many of us haven’t experienced in many months because of the pandemic). We also started to look at the basic building blocks of music such as melody, and revisiting old concepts such as structure, variation, melodic contour and sequence.
We also split off into smaller groups to start thinking about arrangements, and how we can take a piece of music and infuse it with our own originality and flair. We created bluesy versions of Twinke Twinkle Little Star to continue thinking about playing in an ensemble and to get our Music minds rolling.
